🦈 Hammer 🏆 Down 🦈

 


The Jupiter Hammerheads, the Marlins A-Ball Affiliate for the last 21 Minor League Seasons, Won their fist ever Single-A Championship Wednesday night in Clearwater Florida 🎉🏆🎉. After Winning their Division's 2nd Half and qualifying for the MiLB Playoffs for the first time since 2012, the Hammerheads swiftly took down their neighbors, the Palm Beach Cardinals, before going the distance in a best of 3 Series against the Clearwater Threshers.

I had the opportunity to catch my fair share of Hammerhead Games this year, both at the Dean and the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, where both the Hammerheads & Cards played the 2nd Half of their Seasons due to renovations in Jupiter.


A shout-out to Javi Sanoja, Ian Lewis, and the Jupiter stafff for the souvenirs during this Championship Season 🏆.


From seeing the overall Game of a very solid/often over looked Marlins Prospect in Javier Sanoja 🇻🇪 in the 1st Half, before his promotion to Beloit. To the consistent speed threat provided all year long from Ian Lewis 🇧🇸. Followed by a Florida State League Playoff Game, when 1 of 3 Top Ranked Marlins Prospects took the Bump in each of the 5 Postseason Games.




Both Noble Meyer & Thomas White were Drafted in the 1st Round of this Year's MLB June Amateur Draft. While Jacob Miller was a 2nd Round Pick last year for the Marlins, who made 16 total Starts (including 2 in the Playoffs) for Jupiter this year.



Meyer, the youngest of the 3 who just turned 18 years old in January, tossed 5.2 scoreless Innings for the Hammerheads in his 2 Playoff Starts, allowing just 1 Hit, walked 4, but Struckout 5.




The Championship came down to it's final contest of Game 3 between Jupiter and Clearwater with the Series knotted at a Game apiece. Where Kemp Alderman, another Draft pick by the Marlins just this past June out of the University of Mississippi, reached base another 3 times for Jupiter, continuing a really nice showing in the Playoffs for the Hammerheads. 



Those Hammerheads would hold on to defeat the Threshers by a final score of 7-4 on Wednesday, with Closer Evan Taylor locking down the Title Game. Taylor, a 6"4 250 pound Lefty out of Alabama was dominant during these 2 Playoff Series for Jupiter, helping secure the Hammerheads 1st Championship, and what a fun ride it was. Congratulations! #HammerTime 🦈

Distrust, can you blame us

  From the Luis Arraez Trade on May 03rd, having Tim Anderson become the only Free Agent signing during an entire Off-Season, igniting the Franchise into yet another Fire Sale. There's a reason, or 2, or 3 Marlins President Peter Bendix has earned much distrust within the Fish fanbase. Not even mentioning the man/circumstances whom brought the P.O.B.O to Miami was Owner Bruce Sherman and his handling of former Marlins G.M Kim Ng. So when Bendix strikes a move during the Winter Meetings, dealing Marlins Home Run Leader Jake Burger to Texas for 3 Prospects, it's no surprise fans show so much displeasure. Especially when you come to find out the move wasn't even money related for the low revenue Marlins, as Burger will not be Arbitration Eligible until 2026, meaning his '25 Salary will be closer to the Major League minimum. So why deal Burger if you're Bendix & the Fish? You've heard a lot about the move potentially clearing up space at positions like 1B/DH for...

Fight Week

  The Rematch for the Heavyweight Title in the sport of Boxing is set for Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk defends his crown against the best big-man in Boxing of this generation, Tyson Fury. After such a closely contested Fight this past May, which saw Usyk narrow out a Split-Decision, there's high anticipation for Saturday in the desert. Less than 7 months ago we witnessed the first 'Undisputed' Heavyweight Championship Boxing Match since 1999, which saw Usyk nearly stop Fury in Rd. 9, after a flurry of combinations to the kisser had the 6'9 Englishman on queer street. The change in tide during the Bout however, came when it seemed Fury was in complete control during the middle Rounds, following massive uppercuts (including to the body) which seemed to really hurt the former Light Heavyweight Champ. Fury also recovered brilliantly in similar fashion which has made him a legend in the Sport during many a Contest, howbeit ...

  As the Marlins completed their penultimate Road Trip of 2024, going 1-6 against two mediocre Teams of the National League in Pittsburgh & Washington, they'll now return Home to face the Club with the 2nd best record in all of Baseball in the L.A Dodgers starting tomorrow night. The Fish now stand at 55-95, a whopping 40 Games Under .500 with 12 Games remaining. The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp still have a week to go on their 2024 Calendar, the last Marlins Minor League Affiliate with Game action remaining. Lefthander Dale Stanavich will get a Promotion for this final week from Double-A Pensacola, who played their final Contest of 2024 yesterday. Stanavich put up some solid numbers out of the Blue Wahoos Bullpen and was a part of the 2023 Jupiter Hammerheads Title run last year. Speaking of the '23 Hammerheads, fellow Lefty in that Jupiter Bullpen Evan Taylor himself had a solid campaign. Racking up 52 Strikeouts in 44.1 Innings for High-A Beloit, to the tune of 2.84 ERA.
